So, I'm reading that one of the hymns at the service is one from Diana's funeral. Is it the Love Divine, All Love Excelling hymn? It's a lovely song, but I'm afraid I do not remember which hymns were at Diana's funeral (and it's some newspaper that is reporting some hymn from the Royal Program is from Diana's funeral).

This would be in keeping with the etiquette discussed here yesterday on how to incorporate a parent who has died.

One of my other, earlier questions has now been answered by the Official Programme. Instead of the father of the grooming riding with the mother of the bride (etc.), all four parents are riding together in one semi-state landau. Nice way to work it out.

Hello! Ok so the day is finally here! I've spend only 5 hours away from the computer but it feels that to weeks have gone by. I'm too excited to go to sleep !!

Per CNN we will not see William or Kate sign the official wedding certificate. It'll be sign in Edward the Confessor's shrine (? Is that what's called?)

I believe so, or something similar. We've never seen the signing of the register for any royal wedding that's been televised.

To sleep or not to sleep - oh how it is a big question on the opposite side of the planet.

We are going to try to stay awake, DVR on two channels (just in case) and hear the play by play, here on The Royal Forums.

We put ourselves on Mainland/PST time (so as to be able to think about it a little more optimistically) a few days ago (we go back and forth to the continent regularly and our kids are there right now). I'm so afraid I'll miss it if I fall asleep.

I'm afraid to fall asleep.
I fell asleep while waiting for Victorias wedding and I missed a lot of it. Thank God I woke up right when she came out of the car. I was so tired my alarm couldn't wake me up lol.
